In the Depths - a Fantasy Homebrew

Quote from chrisbodmann >>

[OOC: Do you want us to roll here in the forum or on the campaign via our character sheet/dice log? That feels easier to me because I can just click the thing I need and it rolls (and logs it for you). Also, the dice roller is not friendly on mobile which is where I mostly post. So my preference would be to roll in the sheets. But let me know what you prefer, I can adapt. 

On the sheets, I rolled a 21 for initiative.]

Orrin stands his ground and rolls his neck and shoulders. His halberd already primed for a strike. "Finally some action."

(OOC: Whichever you prefer. I usually do log, just I was feeling lazy and didn't want to wait for my computer to load the page) 

(OOC: however you want to do OOC, as long as it's decently obvious (I have about 1/10th of a brain cell), is fine. Could you guys see the image in the post I rolled initiative?)

Zofsaadi feels disbelief when he sees the man drop dead from a single strike 'Since when death is this fast'

Initiative 16: Then he smells blood and can't help but immidiatly falls into a frenzy. Dragonborn moves closer if needed and recklesly throws an axe at the nearest assassin (11 to hit, 24 slashing damage)

OOC: I prefer to use sheet to roll too. I don't see an image.
If you can swap initiative feel free to swap with me.

(OOC: Ah. Darn. I'll work on that, then. Next time. I'll just do a "theater-of-the-mind's-eye" thing, and if you need to know how far away you are from something, I can give you a distance. I'll move your little pawns around on the map, I suppose *maniacal laughter*)

 I kinda prefer that.

(OOC: Nice to know. I'll wait over the weekend for initiative rolls, then begin combat when I get back.) 

Tine froze for half a heartbeat as the performer fell, the crimson spray catching the firelight like ribbons of silk. Her bow hand twitched, instinct screaming to reach for her fiddle, though this time not for song. “Saints above…” she whispered, voice trembling with disbelief. “That wasn’t part of the act.” The dagger’s sudden whistle through the air snapped her out of it. It clattered to the ground between them, and Tine stumbled back a step, eyes wide. Her heart hammered, the music of panic pounding in her ears, too fast, too loud. When Orrin deflected it with practiced ease, she found her voice again, though it came out strained. “Guess the curtain’s up, then,” she muttered, slipping her bow from its strap and holding it like a short staff. Her fingers shook, not with fear exactly, but with the shock of someone realizing the stage had just turned into a battlefield. Aspen’s quip barely reached her through the ringing in her head. “If I had one, I’d use it on all of them,” she shot back, trying to steady her breathing. “Including you, if you don’t duck when I start playing.” She ducked behind one of the tent poles, glancing toward the others. “Watch the flanks! They’re not just performers, look at their blades!” Her bow hand hovered near the strings, ready to snap the moment there was space to breathe. The melody of her next song wouldn’t be for crowds or coin, it would be for survival.

OOC: Initiative: 3

Yep

Yep

(OOC: Ah. 'Kay.) 

Orrin rushes in to attack, but misjudges the distance and his halberd whiffs through the air. 

[rolled a 1. Out of the two rolls in this campaign so far, both have been a 1. Facepalm. I’ll go ahead and action surge.]

However, his skilled swing follows through and he makes a second attack. 

[rolled a 12 to hit. 12 damage if it hits]

OOC: players, can I remind you if I think you forgot something?
